Ⅳ. 植树造林 中国人工造林面积位于全球第一,这样伟大的成就离不开集体的努力。作为学生,Alice 参与了社区植树活动,为绿色未来贡献了一份力量。
March 12th is China's National Tree Planting Day, a special day when people across the country plant trees to protect the environment. According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, in 2024, China completed over 100 million mu (about 66,667 square kilometres) of afforestation, which is nearly as large as Ireland. One of the most exciting achievements happened on November 28th, 2024, when workers completed a 3,046-kilometre green belt around the Taklimakan Desert, the second-largest desert in the world. This important project, called the "Great Green Wall", helps stop the desert from growing larger.
Until now, forests cover more than 25% of China's land, and the total amount of wood in these forests is over 20 billion cubic metres(立方米). Grasslands remain healthy, covering more than half of the country's land area. What's more, China now has the largest area of man-made forests in the world. These forests not only make the country more beautiful but also help protect the nature.
Zhang Liming, a government official, explained that since 2012, China had worked hard to plant trees everywhere. So far, Chinese people have planted amazing 1.16 billion mu of forests—that's enough to cover Germany five times! Because of these efforts, China has become the country with the fastest-growing green areas in the world.
The forests help fight climate change by taking in carbon dioxide. They also make the air cleaner, stop soil from washing away, and provide homes for animals. The government encourages people to take part in tree planting, and millions of people join in it every year. Schools and communities also hold activities to teach young people about protecting the environment.
